Need Some Help With My Turbo Timer

Posted this in the Security and Alarm section but didn't even get a single reply you guys here always seem pretty helpful so hopefully one of you guys can point me in the right direction?

Well basically my R33 GTST 1995 came with a nifty simple as chips pivot turbo timer it's controlled by a rotary dial with a selection of 0 1 or 3 minutes the actual unit is just under the fuse box and it's seems pretty straight forward but I have no idea what wire is what. The problem is that my Turbo Timer appears to be linked to the ACC rather then just the ignition so when I turn the car off everything stays on and my alarm system wont activate until it turns off and even more of a problem is that the doors automatically unlock (which I can turn off but I'd love it it worked properly) when the engine shuts do you guys know if this is a hard fix? I'm assuming its a few wires needed to be switched around but I just cant figure out which!

Also if you guys know how to setup remote start that would be great to, it's all set up but i cant find out where to put the ignition sense wire! The cluster is all electronic so nothing there and cant find anything in the engine bay :)

Any help is appreciated in advance

My alarm had to be turbo timer compatible.

ie: When i purchased the alarm, i was asked if my car was turbo and if i had a turbo timer. They then supplied an alarm that would wait for the engine to stop, before immobilizing; the doors lock, etc while the engine is running.

If your alarm is not compatible you'll need to put up with it or buy a new alarm.

Yea AL it is compatible but the way it works is that it arms when the ACC has been turned off I thought it wasn't compatible and was just dealing with it until I met someone on teh Pizza curse who had the exact same alarm and his was all fine and dandy which got me thinking on getting these things fixed

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
